A rare, Grade II listed Aisle barn set within approximately 0.75 acres, High Barn Farm offers nearly 6,000 sq ft across four buildings with sweeping Chiltern views. Part conversion was completed in 1982; three bays retain dramatic vaulted space with exposed oak timbers and clear potential to create substantial additional living accommodation. Planning permission (CH/2017/0467/FA) was granted in 2017 to add around 800 sq ft, evidencing viable redevelopment possibilities.
The plot includes a converted cottage, former stables, barn store and covered parking for several vehicles, plus generous front gardens and gravel courtyards. The location sits in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and in Green Belt/conservation land, providing exceptional rural character and outlook while limiting wide-ranging exterior change. The property historically formed part of the Drakes Estate and retains notable period features throughout.
This is a project for someone seeking a significant restoration or redevelopment opportunity: the listed status and conservation setting mean works will require specialist consent and may be protracted. Practical downsides include very slow broadband, high council tax banding, and the need to investigate all services and fittings. Additional adjacent land may be available to purchase if expansion is desired.
For investors or buyers wanting a distinctive country residence with strong period character and scale, High Barn Farm represents rare stock in the Chilterns. It suits a buyer prepared for listed-building constraints and prepared to manage renovation, heritage consents, or to complete the previously approved conversion to maximise the property's potential.
